This man. said the pleasant and talk
alive physician Of the asylum This man
is sad case. Brain unbalanced for a long
time. Congenital insanity from birth. Some
way got into the habit of keeping the sim
plest promise he made-even when he lost
money by it. If he told you he would pay
ON certain day he so far forgot himself as
to do it. It was bad precedent in the
community in which he lived. Was adjudg-
ed insane by a jury of his peers and sent
here; case incurable.n
shuddered, for I had some symptoms
myself of this malady, but on further re-
Election found that l had not enough to be
considered a dangerous man, and felt bet
ter.
This man." continued the doctor, g No.
2,225, is clear daft was physician with
good practise. Got to telling patients just
what allied them and gave them the wrong
kind of medicine from the start, such as
shortened their sickness weeks and reckless
ly lost money by the hundreds. Evidently
be was clear of. Physicians proved that
he was incapable of practising and had him
lrought here. Very strange case. Only
one we've had.
He certainly was an object of pity
g Editor in that CELL Couldn't builyrag
and belittle opposition editor. Swore to
his true circulation; wouldn't pitch into
the opposite candidate and make him out
an able bodied horse thief. Got gone ON
the truth, wouldn't have anything else in his
paper to make il readable. Espoused the
cause of right in everything A melancholy
case and no signs of improvement.
I. Here We hare beautiful. young lady,
rich, who spent year in Paris and actually
came back without a French wardrobe.
She would sit in company and never allude
to her visit there. Evidently her mind was
affected, because abe failed to remember
enough French words TO use three or four
in each sentence. Seemed to forget about
calling on countesses, dutchesses,& &c. A most
peculiar case"
looked on hes with compassion.
No. 2,310.-Lost his mind after mar
riage. Spoke we'll of his wife's mother.
Treated her with high consideration. Went
so far as to have her come and live with
him and made it pleasant for her, and was
proud of 1t. Clear case."
Here is a woman who developed dis
taste of being ON the street in neglect Of her
house duties. Could see no pleasure in
tending to other peoples avocations and
imbbed q weakness for her own affairs.
She said she would believe nothing against
her neighbors until she had the positive
proof. Very eccentric. Never compared
dresses with other women who passed on
the street, and did not have mind enough
to be enyious of a costlier bonnet. Unbal-
anced permanently Society proclaimed
that it was dangerous to have her out of
restraint.
